Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Eleven countries have confirmed participation ahead of the forthcoming Kwibuka T20 tournament slated in Kigali from June 9-18, just few days before the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of State Meeting (CHOGM) kicks off in the Rwandan capital.<\/p>\n

The countries that confirmed to take part in this year\u2019s edition include defending champions Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, newcomers Brazil and Zimbabwe and host nation Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The number of participating countries for this year\u2019s edition is more than double of the countries that participated in the tournament last year after some pulled out of the tournament last year due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n

According to the local Cricket governing body (RCA) chairman, Stephen Musaale, the fact that the tournament continues to attract more countries is a result of tremendous efforts the federation has been putting in the growth of the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very nice but tight challenge this time round and seeing the tournament attracting more countries is an indication that it is growing edition after edition,\u201d Musaale told Times Sport.<\/p>\n

Held annually since 2014, the Kwibuka Women\u2019s T20 tournament is the flagship event of the women\u2019s cricket calendar in Rwanda through which the cricket community contribute to the country\u2019s healing process following the atrocities committed during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe countries coming to participate at the tournament know the rationale behind it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will be able to visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial and have a glimpse of what the country went through during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi but also tour different magnificent places like the Kigali Arena and our very own Gahanga Cricket stadium among others to have an experience of how Rwanda is moving in the rebuilding process\u201d<\/p>\n

The tournament will be played at two different cricket grounds including Gahanga International Cricket Stadium and IPR Kicukiro Cricket ground.<\/p>\n
